Maritime Reconnaissance & Surveillance 2012

As the only event specifically dedicated to maritime patrol aircraft in Europe, Defence IQ is delighted to announce the return of our 10th annual Maritime Reconnaissance & Surveillance conference.

Last year’s Maritime Reconnaissance & Surveillance conference attracted over 150 representatives from 20 different nations. Building on this success, our 2012 event provides an unrivalled opportunity to not only listen to senior military commander about the future of their fleets, but also interact with them on a one-to-one basis. It really is the community event for Maritime Domain Awareness experts and is free to attend for all serving military and government officers if you register before Friday, 24th August 2012

In addition to the two-day main conference, Maritime Reconnaissance & Surveillance 2012 also features a Focus Day dedicated to Organic ISR Assets for the Naval Commander. Download the conference programme for full details as well as to see who you will be able to meet in Rome in September, but highlights include:
